project:maxima gets racked!
What a day......coming home from work this afternoon, I am pulling into my street and a little punk comes out of a sidestreet without even stopping and rams into the front of my '96 SE Maxima. Wiped out the passenger side light, hood, bumper cover and quarter panel. A rough guess at the damage would be $5,000. Needless to say the project which was going to be a smaller project has now become a BIG project............

Insurance $ = 97-99 headlights, new bumper (maybe from Shadow's new body kit or with Stillen lip if you can find a good price), Z3 fenders if you want them, CF hood.
Turn that frown upside down.

You can use that money to buy whatever you want. It's supposed to go to replacing the damaged parts with OEM parts but you don't have to do that.

Correction: the money the insurance company pays you is the fair market price to replace/replair any damage to your car (ostensibly with OEM parts and the going rate for mechanical or body labor). It is your choice to have the work done with OEM parts, aftermarket parts, or just spend enough to make the car legal and drivable (pocketing the rest). IT'S YOUR CAR AND YOUR MONEY!!!! DON'T LET THE INSURANCE COMPANY TELL YOU WHAT TO DO WITH EITHER OF THEM!!!!

Officers on the scene told me that the frame on the driver side looks bent. Any of you with a similar accident? Is it reparable?
